In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature ...

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

International researchers develop NTAC, an AI that identifies neuronal types with 90% accuracy based purely on synaptic connectivity, outperforming traditional shape-based methods.

A next-generation silicon brain probe called Neuropixels Ultra more than doubles the number of individual neurons scientists ...

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

The human brain is constantly picking up patterns in everyday experiences — and can do so without conscious thought, finds a study of neuronal activity in people who had electrodes implanted in their ...

Research by a team of scientists from Cologne, Munich and Mainz has shown an unprecedented degree of connectivity reorganization in newly-generated hippocampal neurons in response to experience, ...

Scientists have recreated the growth of Lewy bodies in human neurons and followed their formation to gain important insight into why and how they form. Critically, they find that immune challenge is ...

Neurons activated by psychological strain recruited immune cells that drove skin inflammation in mice, revealing a pathway linking stress and skin disease.

Cortical Labs, the Australian biotech startup that wired living neurons to a video game, now faces a distinctly biological constraint as it scales its technology: the cells powering its computers need ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...
